Saw this on a friends blog today and thought this was kinda cool. I have read 84 of these 100 books. But thats not to say I made it to the last page. How many of these books have you read? You dont have to put the x beside them as I did, just tell the number.
The BBC believes most people will have only read 6 of the 100 books here.
How do your reading habits stack up?

1) Look at the list and put an 'x' before those you have read.
2) Tally your total at the bottom.

I've read 65 at least once, many several times, Wuthering Heights is my favourite book of all time and I can quote large chunks from memory - so much so that when we were watching a film adaptation (a pretty accurate one, generally) the other week, I drove DH up the wall - Heathcliff didn't say THAT, he said... Cathy actually said....!!! And so on! After he complained, I restricted myself to occasional derisive snorts!
You can bump my total up to 67 if I can include parts of the Bible and some of the works of Shakespeare - King Lear is my favourite. I love reading and can read really fast - I like trash as well as classics, I'm not picky! I read an entire Dean Koontz on the ferry back from England (5 hours, but we had a meal as well). I read Kane and Abel - nearly 5 inches thick - in a day! People say I must skip read, but I don't!
